Microscopy by Achromatic X-rays With Emission of Laminar Light (MAXWELL) is a new X-ray/visible technique with attractive characteristics including isotropic resolution in all directions, large-volume imaging and high throughput. An ultrathin, laminar X-ray beam produced by a Wolter type I mirror irradiates the sample stimulating the emission of visible light by scintillating nanoparticles, captured by an optical system. Three-dimensional (3D) images are obtained by scanning the specimen with respect to the laminar beam. We implemented and tested the technique with a high-brightness undulator at SPring-8, demonstrating its validity for a variety of specimens. This work was performed under the Synchrotrons for Neuroscience-an Asia-Pacific Strategic Enterprise (SYNAPSE) collaboration.
利用发射层状光的消色差 X 射线显微镜（MAXWELL）是一种新的 X 射线/可见光技术，具有各向同性分辨率、大容量成像和高通量等吸引人的特点。由 Wolter 型 I 镜产生的超薄层状 X 射线束照射样品，刺激闪烁纳米粒子发射可见光，这些可见光由光学系统捕获。通过相对于层状光束扫描样品获得三维（3D）图像。我们在 SPring-8 上实现并测试了该技术，证明了它对各种样品的有效性。这项工作是在亚太同步辐射研究机构神经科学联盟（SYNAPSE）的合作下进行的。
